Validating a main beam treatment of parametric, pixel-based component separation in the context of CMB observations
September 2024 • A. Rizzieri, Josquin Errard, R. Stompor
We implement a simple, main beam correction in the maximum-likelihood, parametric component separation approach, which allows on accounting for different beamwidths of input maps at different frequencies without any preprocessing. We validate the approach on full-sky and cut-sky simulations and discuss the importance and impact of the assumptions and simplifications. We find that, in the cases when the underlying sky model is indeed parametric, the method successfully recovers component spectral parameters and com…
